Chapter 417 Love Me Quickly

e were to look back at him even once in this life, she would die!Thousands of thoughts swirled in Qian Si Chen's mind as he stood there, gazing at Xiao Yu Ge's beautiful back. He replayed her words ov..."Slow down, don't trip," he muttered behind her, like a mother hen, worried she might stumble and fall while he was too preoccupied to even protect her.

After the incident at the city wall, his resolve to protect her grew stronger. So strong that he felt uneasy whenever she was out of his sight. He had sworn to protect her forever, but on that day of carnage, when he saw her fall from the city wall with his own eyes, in that moment of despair, he felt his own insignificance and helplessness. Thankfully, he caught her in time!

Every time he thought of that scene, his heart would tremble uncontrollably. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had been a step too late and hadn't caught her in time.

"With such a large peach orchard, are there only the two of us It's such nice weather, and no one has come to admire the flowers" After running around for a while, Xiao Yuge finally realized something was wrong.

"I've got it." Qiantingxuan reached out to remove a petal of peach from her hair, unable to help but caress her face, which was even more beautiful than the peach blossom.

"Sure enough, money really does make things easier!" Xiao Yu Ge flashed him a sly smile. She liked quiet anyway, and since he had booked the whole place, there would be no interruptions. It was rare for her to come out like this, so she wanted to have a good time.

"My manor lacks nothing, save for a mistress. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife" He couldn't stop thinking about taking her as his own, to put an end to those other men's advances.

"You'll have to pay a lot, a lot of money if you want to marry me, you know." Xiao Yuge playfully winked at him with her beautiful eyes: marrying She hadn't really thought about it.

"I'm not short of money." He leaned in, hands behind his back, closer to her.

"Can one be as rich as a country" she asked casually.

"Well then. Once we're married, everything will be yours." He knew she was stalling, and he wouldn't give her the time she wanted. Six months wouldn't last forever; when she turned sixteen, he wouldn't let her escape him any longer.

"Let me think about it." She instinctively took a half step back, furrowing her brow: why did he always get so close when he spoke

"Don't think about it for too long." He knew she was avoiding him, so he naturally stopped pushing her. He was really afraid of pushing her too hard, she quietly left the capital city, using the disguise techniques taught by Ye Wuhuan. Finding her would be difficult.

However, he didn't know that Xiao Yuge didn't want to marry him. Besides fearing walking the same old path as before, there was another reason: she was a true daughter of destiny, an identity that would one day be revealed to the world. If Qian Tingxuan truly married her, the Emperor would definitely think that Qian Tingxuan did so to borrow her good fortune and plot a coup. Given the Emperor's suspicion, for that throne, he would surely find ways in secret to get rid of Qian Tingxuan. Therefore, if she truly agreed to marry Qian Tingxuan, she would be harming him.

"Catch me if you can, and I'll agree to anything!" she laughed as she ran away.

"Alright! You said it, don't take it back!" he strode after her.

"No light skills allowed!"

They chased and frolicked under the peach blossom trees, enjoying this rare freedom. Her silver bell-like laughter echoed throughout the entire orchard...

"Got you!"

"Qian Ting Xuan, you're being stubborn! You said you wouldn't use light work!"

"I didn't use any light kung fu, I just ran fast because my legs are long. Little Song'er, I caught you! This life, the next life, and the one after that, you can't go back on your word!" He held her and twirled gently in the rain of flowers......

Warm spring sunshine, a gentle breeze, just the right amount of sunlight. Under the peach blossom tree, Xiao Yuge, who was running tiredly, felt drowsiness coming over him and fell asleep leaning against his legs...

He untied his cloak and gently draped it over her, unable to resist stroking her peaceful sleeping face. The corners of his lips twitched upwards involuntarily. She was so unguarded, like a babe, nothing like the ruthless and extreme Frost Snow Pavilion master rumored about.

Perhaps influenced by her, he lay down contentedly as well. Through the lush branches of the peach blossoms, he saw the azure sky and white clouds, instantly feeling an unprecedented sense of ease. Reflecting on these years spent traveling between different countries' martial arts circles, always handling matters for Thunder Pavilion, it seemed like he hadn't felt this relaxed and carefree in a long time. Perhaps because she was by his side, even his mood felt different.

Thinking back, it was all a blur, like a dream. I always thought that as long as I carried the burden left by my royal uncle, then when the poison took hold and I died, that would be the end of my life. Until I met her.

Her appearance, like a cluster of flames, ignited his long-dormant life. Every smile and every frown of hers captivated his soul, arousing love and desire he had never known before. He believed she was the best gift heaven had bestowed upon him.

"You little rascal! I must have spent all my luck in past lives to meet you, so go ahead and fall in love with me!" It wasn't too early, nor was it too late, everything was just right. He knew she had feelings for him, but he wasn't sure if it was love. Perhaps her talk of a previous life was too deep-rooted. But no matter what happened in her past life, this one, he would do everything in his power to protect her and never let her experience anything like it again.

"Qian Tingxuan..." The person still soundly asleep on his legs mumbled his name drowsily.

"I'm here." He propped himself up half way, stroking her head, the tenderness in his eyes seeming to soften everything around them. A gentle breeze blew, flowers danced in the air, their fragrance filling the air – everything was so beautiful.

Perhaps getting his response, Xiao Yuge instantly relaxed, adjusted her sleeping position, and continued to sleep. However, her hand inadvertently rested on his...

“Uh…” His gaze faltered, he couldn't help but let out a soft hum, subconsciously looking at the spot where she had released his hand. Suddenly, his heart started racing, he swallowed hard with difficulty, and his mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic images. A certain place also reacted instinctively...

"Damn it!" he muttered, shaking his head to shake off those inappropriate thoughts. He hastily withdrew his hand, holding hers back. Seeing her still asleep, oblivious to the trouble she had caused, he felt both annoyed and amused: "Little rascal! If you touch me again next time, I'll eat you!"

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed all his impulses. Although this forced restraint was unpleasant, he still couldn't bear to hurt her.

In the air, an unusual scent seems to have arrived. Half-closing his eyes, a flash of light in his pupils, a chilling killing intent appears: At this time, who else dares to come and die

He eyed a place warily and instinctively covered her ears, afraid he might wake her.

"Whoosh!"

A serpentine weapon came whistling through the air. Without hesitation, he picked up a pebble nearby, secretly channeled his strength, and flung it out. With a clang, the weapon fell to the ground!ill put forward his own opinion: “But you have to promise me, you can't get too close to Xiao Huangshu, or any other man for that matter. Also, when I have time, I will personally teach you kung fu, s...
